Privacy Policy

The Facebook “like” and Twitter buttons

By default, the HRDAG website loads these social media buttons at the end of every blogpost; the buttons track your behavior on our site and allow us to have a broad idea of how popular and how widely circulated our blogposts are. The buttons also enable you to publish our blogposts directly to your Facebook wall or Twitter feed with a single click. If, however, you would prefer that your behavior on our website not be tracked, we are more than happy to oblige.

Do Not Track

When you turn on the do-not-track feature, your browser (Firefox or Chrome, for example) tells every website you visit (as well as their advertisers and other content providers) that you do not want your browsing behavior tracked. Honoring this setting is voluntary—individual websites are not yet required to respect it—but HRDAG absolutely respects the request. When you turn on your browser’s do-not-track feature, none of the social media tracking widgets will load, so those sites will not know that you have visited us. We will not set cookies on your computer. Do-not-track is an easy feature to turn on; here is Firefox’s help guide for doing so; here is some information on Chrome’s DoNotTrackMe feature.

HTTPS Everywhere is a Firefox and Chrome extension that encrypts your communications with many major websites, making your browsing more secure. You may find more information about these extensions at the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s webpage.

All of our pages on the HRDAG website automatically redirect any request for an http:// address to an https:// address. That way no one monitoring your web traffic can see what you’re browsing. They can see that you’re visiting hrdag.org, but they cannot see which pages you view.

If you have questions about our privacy policy, please send them via email to info @ hrdag.org.
